Background:
Eximia is a non-invasive body-contouring technology combining ultrasound cavitation, radiofrequency, and vacuum suction to reduce adiposity. EMS Pro Bodytech delivers biphasic electrical impulses to stimulate muscular contractions and improve muscle performance.
Methods:
A 6-week observational study included 77 participants (58 women aged 28-55 and 19 men aged 20-49), who received twice-weekly sessions combining Eximia and EMS training. Anthropometric and body composition measurements were recorded before and after the intervention.
Results:
Participants showed reductions in fat mass (mean from 19.21 kg to 18.19 kg; SD from 8.23 to 8.42), BMI (mean from 26.03 to 25.68; SD from 4.26 to 4.16), and visceral fat index (mean from 4.97 to 4.74; SD from 2.88 to 2.99), alongside an increase in skeletal muscle percentage (mean from 37.34% to 38.3%, SD from 5.09 to 5.94). Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in treatment response between genders (e.g., BMI: p = 0.080; fat-free mass: p = 0.089) or age groups (all p > 0.6), suggesting that the intervention was effective across demographics.
Conclusions:
The combined approach of Eximia body remodeling and EMS muscle stimulation led to measurable improvements in body composition, independent of age or gender. These findings support its potential as a non-invasive, inclusive strategy for body reshaping alongside peri-procedural dietary standardization.
